Wallace (Knee Warmer)

My son wants a pair of knee warmes for hiking and running. I have never heard of (young) people using kneewarmers, so I started to search the Internet and the ravelry patterns. And what I found was [Phil's Knee Warmers][1] and a historical german [Kniewärmer][2]. Nevertheless I decided to do my own version. The yarn was in my stash, but I would suggest to use 100% Merino, which is softer than the usual sock-yarn. Change the size by changing the needle size or/and changing the number of stitches, but make sure that the number is a multiple of 4. **2021** Pattern corrected! All corrections are marked yellow.
